This is one of those things I look forward to when the kids are grown and outta the house. My wife used to ride and still wants to, but has no desire for racing. I look forward to being able to take off a few weeks and just go ride all over the country.

I'd really like a GS. However, I like the KLR for its simplicity. I can fix anything on the road with the right tools. That ride will be tough, things WILL break, and the fewer electronic sensor and gee-whiz gadgets to go bad, the better. It's a toss up really.
I was thinking more of the seat and wind protection...a six inch wide KLR
seat would probably have you crying before you got through Canada

Have you talked to my dad about his KLR? He's got that Harley now, so he'd probably be okay with letting that one go.
